Technology expands the capacity to choose; and it denies the potential of this revolution if we assume the Government is best positioned to make these choices for us.
Anthony KennedyHappy are they, who in the matter of marriage observe three rules. The first is to marry only in the Lord, and after prayer for Godโs approval and blessing.

The third rule is to strive first and foremost for one anotherโs sanctification. The more holy married people are, the happier they are.

I am free to appreciate and enjoy it, but I didn't emotionally require it!
Beth MooreWhen in Gregg v. Georgia the Supreme Court gave its seal of approval to capital punishment, this endorsement was premised on the promise that capital punishment would be administered with fairness and justice.
